 The enormous proportions of the industria
 pageant can be understood when it is known
 that as the head of the procession began tc
 countermarch at 2!10 p. m. after travelling
 twenty-three squares south of Market street
 only seven of the twentyathree divisions had
 passed the reviewing stand Several of the
 observation stands settled considerably on : account of their heavy loads, but none of
 them collapsed and the march was made
 without casualties further than that an un'- | known man dropped dead near Chestnut | street, presumably from heart disease, and 8 | little girl was injured in a crowd. The
 police arrangements as we'll as the ambu-
 lance service of the Red Cross society | worked admirably. The volunteer fremen l passed the reviewing stand just as the Marine l band at the head of the column was return
 ing. Quaint and odd fire apparatus of other | days and men who had run ''wid de masheen" 1 generations ago were in line. They were
 handsomely uniformed and were the observed ! of all observers. There were five thousand | men in this part of the procession, including ] many grayhaired and bearded fire Iaddies, l some of them minus leg or an arm, holding the ropes of an old time hose carriage or hand engine.
 At sunrise this morning the United States l war vessels anchored in the Delaware river began their part in the celebration. A salute of thirteen guns was fired from each one of them. One hour later the Queen Emma fol- lowed with a salute of eleven guns. All of these vessels are handsomely decorated with bunting and flags and tonight they were illuminated with Chinese lanterns. Beauti- ful pyrotechnic displays were made from
 all the vessels in the harbor this evening. The training squadron that was to arrive in
 New York yesterday was ordered by the
 Navy department to report at this city. It
 consists of the Jamestown, Portsmouth and
 Saratoga. Twenty-Five years have elapsed
 since the Jamestown was in this port, from
 which she then sailed for the China and
 Japan station.
 The Chinese embassy and suite from
 Washington viewed the parade from one of the boxes erected directly behind that occu- pied by MT. George W. Childs and friends President Cleveland and party arrived here at 9:30 to night and were at once driven to the Lafayette Hotel.
 The great crowds of enthusiastic spectators remained in their places through the long hours which it took the procession to pass | until the latter part of the afternoon when the stands began to thin out This, however, only augmented the crowds on the sidewalks | and streets. The rush for the street cars, railroad depots and ferries then commenced l and all were severely taxed in furnishing &C., | commodations for three or four hours follow. | ing. The end of the procession did not reach l the City Hall moving south until 6:30 o'clock I and returning north arrived at Broad and | Chestnut streets about 7:3O o'clock. The | stands by this time were almost deserted and | even on the sidewalks pedestrians could l move with comfort. Towards the close of | the afternoon many of the marchers would quietly slip out of line, through side streets and the end of the procession presented ragged appearance.
 Chestnut street tonight between Fifth and Broad streets is one mass of moving humani- ty, the attraction being the handsomely decorated buildings on that thoroughfare. The presidential party consisting of the President, Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary Bay- ard and Colonel and Mrs Lamont left Wash- lngton at o'clock this afternoon in charge | of Major J. M. Carson. A hot journal be- fore reaching Baltimore detained the train twenty minutes which was not | made up during the journey, other wise the trip was without special incl lent. At Baltimore larg ecrowd collected around the station and cheered for the Presi- lent, but the latter did not show himself and he train stopped only few minutes. On thriving at Wilmington there was big de- an immense crowd cheering md calling for the President. He appeared inally in company with Mrs. Cleveland and bowed his acknowledgements. At Whining on the presidential party were met by the reception committee and es- ;orted to Philadelphia The party were land | d at Thirty second and Market streets where l he city troops was in waiting and under es- ort they were driven to the Lafayette Hotel 1ere an immense assemblage had gathered $ the arrival and in answer to re- | |, ,eated calls and cheers the President and ! Irs. Cleveland appeared on the balcony and l lowed, amidst tremendous cheering. -is
